hi all! I've ordered a timing belt kit and water pump for my Gt 1.2 tce and plan on doing the change myself.. is there anything else worth changing at the same time? also if anyone has any information on carrying out this job, your input would be greatly appreciated! on another note the tapping...

Thanks for your input guys! I've seen videos of people just pulling their driveshafts out their hubs.. but unfortunately mine were pretty rusted together - I'll post a pic of what happened to the cheap draper gear puller later..! Anyway I've used a hydraulic press to remove mine.. took some...

continued... 16. You should now have a driveshaft with your hub/knuckle/lower ball joint stuck to it.. from my experience, you will need a hub puller or press to separate these parts.. (offside/drivers side driveshaft pictured) Bear in mind you will probably require new bearings aswell as...

Hi! You guys and this forum are extremely helpful, so I thought I would start taking some pictures and creating a "how to" on any jobs I end up doing when possible! Here is a "how to" for removing a driveshaft/Axel from a Renault Twingo GT (should be similar on the 1.2 and RS aswell)...

For anyone who wants the whoosh but doesnt want to spend any cash.. simply remove the bottom pipe from the standard recirculating dump valve and plug up the rubber pipe. it only recirculates the pressure back into the air filter,as the cars have a dump valve standard.. its just muffled by being...

singlespeed, the driverside inner cv joint has gone.. the car was shaking/juddering around left hand corners, i now I have it off and its definately shot, its rough/grindy and clunks when rotating it (compared to the outer cv joint which is smooth) and the cv joint comes with the driveshaft.. I...

Wouldn't bother with an induction kit mate.. sucking in all that hot engine air! stick with a performance panel filter.. more likely to produce an extra horsepower than an induction kit will.. induction kits sound awful aswell on anything without a turbo.. a nice exhuast will give you a nice rumble!

Cheers oscar, your a legend! ill finish removing the joint first and double check which joint it is.. I think it is the inner one to be honest.. ill send you a PM tomorrow! thanks for your help! tog

it wasnt exactly what I expected to have been the problem! didnt expect a mount on this little car to go and I drive it for mpg! lol I didnt get any scraping noises.. the cabin, throttle pedal and steering wheel just started shaking more than it should... everyone I got to sit in it couldn't...

I've already ordered the mount, but I still need the driveshafts before I can put it back on the road! my mate couldn't source them, and neither can my local motor factor, who originally told me they could order them for me for £60 each.. they have said they can get me the cv joints for £44...

still struggling to find the driveshafts :( would really appreciate any input, i have found the passenger one for about £100 on https://m.mister-auto.co.uk/en/drive-shaft-skf-050VKJC%208166_g13_a050VKJC%208166.html but cant find a drivers side! I am checking my local motor factors today...

for anyone interested, these problems have all been diagnosed! o2 voltages are fine, I didnt realise, but the o2 sensor naturally goes up and down. so no problem there (goes from rich to lean) my initial misfire was a blown coil pack (the bottom had cracked) how ever, the vibrating, bassy sound...

just thought I would update this thread.. singlespeed, that is the gearbox mount.. under the battery tray. turns out my car problem is the exact same problem posted here.. checked today.. mine was hanging even lower and the bolt had ripped straight out the mount.

hi guys, need a new (pair) of drive shafts for my twingo gt tce.. my drivers side one is vibrating on left corners, worse with a small amount of power and thought best to replace both whilst at it.. anyway.. ive been looking online and struggling to find any.. I might just be blind, but if...

sorry to revive an old thread but did you find out exactly which mount it was in the end .? been having problems with my twingo and the symptoms sound similar to mine.. the engine vibrates the whole car but the engine mounts are fine.. thanks for any help!
